Scorsone, 36, also pointed out some statistics about the genetic disorder and called attention to how phrasing matters when it comes to talking about Down syndrome.

"Language is important,'' she wrote. "Parents don’t have a 1 in 700 'RISK' of having a baby with Down syndrome. Parents have a 1 in 700 CHANCE of having a baby with Down syndrome, just like they have a 50 percent CHANCE of having a girl and a 50 percent CHANCE of having a boy. (With some beautiful variations in there as well). Differences are beautiful. Language changes how people think. Words are important."
